Why Practice Systems Thinking?

The world around us is full of complexity, from the environment, to our workplaces to our own bodies. Systems thinking equips you with a framework to understand these complexities and navigate them more effectively. 

Systems thinking helps you tackle complex problematic situations: Many situations we face have interconnected causes and effects. By seeing the bigger picture and the relationships within a situation, you can identify patterns, causal mechanisms, structures, power, and dynamics. This allows you to design changes that address the system as a whole, rather than just treating symptoms.
